2. We are all "Hillbillies" now

I am in Western Pa. and have been following the chemicaql spill story closely.
I hate the term "hillbilly" actually. The coal bosses and other exploiters have done their best for a hundred plus years to pound the feeling of inferiority and worthlessness into the hearts of West Virginians and others.

3. Wastewater dumping

On March 17, 2011 Pennsylvania Greene County resident Robert Allan Shipman and his company, Allan’s Waste Water Service Inc., were charged with illegally dumping millions of gallons of natural gas drilling wastewater across six counties in Pennsylvania from 2003-2009. The investigation of Shipman began after a client grew suspicious of illegal dumping when an in-house audit “revealed a large discrepancy in the amount of sludge received by Allan’s Waste Water and the amount of sludge disposed” by the company at treatment facilities. A review of reports by the Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that over 170,000 gallons of sludge were unaccounted for from June 2006 to the summer of 2007.
